Espadrille Envy

Triggered by the Kate Middleton effect, espadrille envy officially began when Kate stepped out in LK Bennett's heeled espadrilles the morning after the most scrutinised wedding in history. Thus espadrilles have become the 'must have' of the summer. When flip flops are too casual but heels are not an option, step in the espadrille, delightfully comfortable yet classically chic the espadrille is the perfect addition to any summer wardrobe. Well if they are good enough for the next Queen of England?

Style Crush: Rosie Fortescue (Made in Chelsea)

Channel 4's latest reality show 'Made in Chelsea' has been an instant success. It seems that people have finally warmed to Chelsea's youth of the moment. Whilst everything they say must be taken with a pinch or in some cases buckets of salt, I have become particularly fond of a particular cast member, she is quirky in a non imposing way, her style is a sort understated chic. She is always in classic sharp tailored clothing from divine French houses Sandro, Maje or Isabel Marant...who? Rosie of course. Rosie dresses like a Parisian with a melodic London tone incorporating pieces from Zara and Topshop that look at ease amongst her Philip Lim or Alexander Wang teamed with devilish accessories! I love an unsung hero!

Scarlet Lady or Lady in Red?

White is undoubtedly the colour of Summer this season. But when that extra zing is needed, one should always reach for red. The unbeatable look of scarlet tones on a fresh summer tan and naturally topped up highlights ensure one looks dazzling with a edge yet still demure and understated. The trick is choosing the right shade, shape and of course the right shoes!
